Initially starting with an internship and working full-time afterwards, Dutch Review brought me closer to the sphere of digital marketing, online journalism, and, most of course, Dutch culture. I wrote daily news, cultural pieces, and weekly newsletters. I learned how to write clearly and adhere to certain writing style guides. Additionally, I became more familiar with SEO writing techniques, sponsored articles, and affiliate material.
